Rock Bottom

elphaba993

You don't know rock bottom

 

You don't know what it's like

selling your body

just to provide for your child.

 

I'm stuck in a constant state of 

emptiness.

I'm disgusting

dirty

cheap...

 

This is what my life has come to.

I never thought this would be me.

 

I'm fighting so hard

just to keep my head above water

but God

I'm so fucking tired.

 

I want to die.

I dream of it.

I pray for it all to end.

 

Because I do know rock bottom.

That's where I live.

    Great write,

    Hodgetiger said it best. The rawness. I am hoping this is not your real life but only poetic license. If indeed it is, find someone that you respect and ask if they will mentor you to find a way out. Hugs.

    Thank you all

    So much, in so few words ... your words are worth more than a thousand pictures ... keep releasing, I'd be wrong to say it's beautiful, but how else to express the sentiment... well I appreciate it in a certain way I cannot describe... thank you.
